Chap:3 Living Toether VS. Going It Alone

In this chapter Nisbett discuss the difference in many countries.
he gives many different kind of examples to support his idea such as first line of the book, the first person words, direct and indirect way of telling thoughts, and how babies sleep.
there are more but dont remember all.
anyway, i did agree with nisbett on this chapter.
maybe because he mentioned about people who lived in and outside one countries.
two things i didnt understand was why does he give only two ideas, westerners, and asians when he says that there are various kinds of people and various kinds of countries in the end.
another thing is if americans are wanting to be different from others and choose the color that is most uncommon, then would it result in everybody choosing the same color anyways??
this chapter was intereserting since it gives many examples including japanese people.
